Actually: not to sit cross legged on the floor . The pins and needles sensation means that you are compressing either nerve or blood circulation.

Difficult: Every body has the potential to stretch tight tendons and muscles. Some people have rigidity of spine that it makes certain postures too stressful for the ligaments and nerves. Pins and needles indicate poor circulation or nerve pressure and is not something you want to ignore. Try a pillow under your buttocks while attempting cross legged sitting.
